Lost in Transmission No. 27

As often happens with these mixes, there is a central theme or inspiration that directs much of what ends up in there. For Lost in Transmission No. 27, it was Brown Bird, an artist through whom I was introduced to great music and a great number of new artists that helped to shape the music we played on Folk Radio UK.

The mix includes three tracks from the double CD A Light I Can Feel: A Tribute to Brown Bird –

Brown Bird was a beloved band whose founder David Lamb passed from leukemia in 2014. This 2-CD tribute was originally conceived of, and compiled to help raise money for his treatment. Though he had heard most of this album, unfortunately, Lamb passed before it could see release. We’re releasing “A Light I Can Feel: A Tribute to Brown Bird” in 2017 in his memory, to raise money for Sweet Relief, and to continue to share the music of Brown Bird with the world.

This highly personal collection includes thirty-two interpretations of Brown Bird songs by friends, fans, and collaborators.
